About Elegant Buns & Updos
A common mistake is skipping the base prep. For these buns, I always use a mix of backcombing and the right amount of stuffing to get that volume without it looking fake. Whether you are prepping for a client or yourself, the secret is in how you secure your sectioning—I use bungee bands rather than just relying on standard hair ties to keep everything tight for hours.
Creating an elegant bun or updo isn't just about pinning hair back; it's about structure. In my Subhash Nagar studio, I break down these styles into simple, repeatable steps so you aren't just copying a look, but actually understanding the technique.
My Approach to Updos
- The Foundation: Every clean bun starts with a strong base. I teach students how to use the right amount of backcombing and donut stuffing to create structure, which prevents the bun from sagging or looking messy by the end of an event.
- 3D Lines & Texture: If you look at my work, you'll see a lot of clean, defined lines. This is achieved by pulling specific sections and using a high-hold spray like Schwarzkopf Osis+. It’s all about maintaining control over the hair without making it stiff.
- Handling Density: Many clients worry about having thin hair. I teach techniques for hiding extensions and creating 'false fronts' to give that voluminous, heavy look that is so popular for bridal and cocktail events.
